Beating My Carb Cravings



So, I got home from a really intense workout a while ago, which I can't really fuel for before...because it was 108 degrees in there today, and I would puke! Like seriously, I didn't know your hands and the tops of your feet could sweat. I felt like I was in Kansas in July again. This is me even 5 minutes later.

Even though I worked off 800 calories, it is super easy to undo all the good and even take in extra calories when you are that hungry and tired. I get home starving! If I don't have something ready for me, I will just start shoving random carbs in my mouth and not stop until I'm full.

It is Sunday, the end of my week, schedule wise, and I was out of all my usual prepped stuff. I found this bag of Alexa cauliflower risotto in my freezer ( which I don't even remember buying), next to a box of chicken patties, and I nuked the cauliflower while I cooked the burger, and then just tossed in veggies from the fridge drawer; spinach, arugula, shallots and tomato, and added random fresh herbs and pantry spices, and tossed just a bit of feta on it. I'll skip the feta next time, as it was a little salty.

You guys, it is soooooooooo good! Like as comfort foody as a bowl of pasta. The cauliflower is cut bigger than most of the pre-prepped stuff, and so it has a real chew to it, kind of like brown rice.

80 calories a serving...only 240 if you can't stop and just snarf the whole bag. I was stuffed about halfway through, and I had less than 300 calories. That means I'm still down 500 from the workout. WIN WIN all around!
